Growing healthy is fun! A co-creation nutrition intervention to children aged 3-6 years

In order to promote healthier eating habits and consequently lower obesity levels, that it is important for children to have knowledge of diet and nutrition. Objectives: Increase nutritional knowledge about healthy eating and Portuguese food wheel in children aged 3-6years. Methods: Our group developed the Growing Healthy is Fun! to 3-6 years old children, at the Kindergarten of Obra Kolping. Several funny activities were planned, in order to instill knowledge about healthy eating and Portuguese food wheel, leading to best eating practices and adequate nutritional status. Structured interviews were conducted with the children pre and post the intervention for all children that parents or guardian delivered a written informed consent. Results: At pre intervention, the percentages of children that considered the example food as healthy food are: 100% for apple, beans, carrots and unflavored milk; 57.1% for fish; 28.6% for chocolate and cake. At post intervention the results are: 100% for apple, beans, carrots and unflavored milk; 85,7% for fish; and 0% for chocolate, cake and pizza. About Portuguese food wheel knowledge, at pre intervention, all children indicated cauliflower and banana, 71.4% considered olive oil and plain milk, 42.9% considered cake, and 28.7% considered egg and candy as foods belonging to the wheel. In post intervention, 100% of children considered egg, olive oil, cauliflower and bananas as food belonging to the wheel and 71.4% of them considered milk as belonging to the food wheel. Chocolate, candies, hamburger and cake were not classified as part of the food wheel.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Integrating Phylogenetic and Network Approaches to Study Gene Family Evolution: The Case of the \u3ci\u3eAGAMOUS\u3c/i\u3e Family of Floral Genes

The study of gene family evolution has benefited from the use of phylogenetic tools, which can greatly inform studies of both relationships within gene families and functional divergence. Here, we propose the use of a network-based approach that in combination with phylogenetic methods can provide additional support for models of gene family evolution. We dissect the contributions of each method to the improved understanding of relationships and functions within the well-characterized family of AGAMOUS floral development genes. The results obtained with the two methods largely agreed with one another. In particular, we show how network approaches can provide improved interpretations of branches with low support in a conventional gene tree. The network approach used here may also better reflect known and suspected patterns of functional divergence relative to phylogenetic methods. Overall, we believe that the combined use of phylogenetic and network tools provide a more robust assessment of gene family evolution

Identification of gifted students by teachers: reliability and validity of the Cognitive Abilities and Learning Scale

Teachers play a relevant role in screening and identifying gifted and talented students. However, many times teacher´s assessments may be biased by personal beliefs about giftedness. In these cases, the quality of screening and identification can be enhanced through the use of measurement devices that present good psychometric properties of validity and reliability. This study presents the examination of the precision and factor validity of the Cognitive Abilities and Learning Scale (CALS: Escala de Habilidades Cognitivas e de Aprendizagem – EHC/A; Almeida, Olivira &Melo, 2000), with a sample of 262 students from fourth and fifth grades. Results suggest the existence of only one factor, not confirming the theoretical model of three factors (intellectual ability, motivation and creativity) that supports the scale. Principal components analysis for three factors shows some problems with item specification for ability and creativity. These problems contrast with high reliability coefficients obtained when arranging items according to the dimension they would theoretically be linked to. These findings suggest the need to include new items with more specificity in terms of the cognitive dimensions of giftedness

[1-(2,5-Dichloroanilino)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methanol

In the title compound, C10H10Cl2N4O, the hy­droxy group and benzene ring are disposed to opposite sides of the central 1,2,3-triazolyl ring. The dihedral angle between the five- and six-membered rings is 87.51 (12)°, and the C-O bond of the hy­droxy group lies almost normal to the plane of the 5-membered ring [N-C-C-O = -93.2 (2)°]. An intra­molecular amino-N-H...Cl hydrogen bond is noted. In the extended structure, supra­molecular layers in the ab plane are formed via hy­droxy-O-H...N(ring) and amine-N-H...O(hy­droxy) hydrogen bonds. The layers are connected along the c axis by [pi]-[pi] contacts between benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.7789 (13) Å] and by C-Cl...[pi] inter­actions

Cadmium effects on net N2O production by the deep-sea isolate Shewanella loihica PV-4

Deep-sea mining may lead to the release of high concentrations of metals into the surrounding seabed, which can disturb important ecosystem functions provided by microbial communities. Among these, the production of N2O and its reduction to N2 is of great relevance since N2O is an important greenhouse gas. Metal impacts on net N2O production by deep-sea bacteria are, however, currently unexplored. Here, we evaluated the effects of cadmium (Cd) on net N2O production by a deep-sea isolate, Shewanella loihica PV-4. We performed a series of Cd exposure incubations in oxic conditions and determined N2O fluxes during induced anoxic conditions, as well as the relative expression of the nitrite reductase gene (nirK), preceding N2O production, and N2O reductase gene (nosZ), responsible for N2O reduction. Net N2O production by S. loihica PV-4 exposed to Cd was strongly inhibited when compared to the control treatment (no metal). Both nirK and nosZ gene expression were inhibited in reactors with Cd, but nirK inhibition was stronger, supporting the lower net N2O production observed with Cd. The Cd inhibition of net N2O production observed in this study poses the question whether other deep-sea bacteria would undergo the same effects. Future studies should address this question as well as its applicability to complex communities and other physicochemical conditions, which remain to be evaluated.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Escolas rurais de Rio Verde –GO: os desafios dos professores ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem em meio a pandemia

Resumo: O texto traz como objeto de estudo as escolas rurais no município de Rio Verde – Go. Neste sentido, objetivou-se descobrir quais os desafios enfrentados pelos professores da zona rural, no atual momento de pandemia, ao oferecer um ensino de qualidade à todos e para todos. O trabalho aportou-se em um estudo qualitativo de natureza bibliográfica, partindo de uma análise crítica através de questionários semiestruturados respondidos pelos professores. Evidenciou-se diante das respostas dos professores investigados que, os desafios enfrentados são reflexos da falta de acompanhamento da família, bem como acesso ao sinal de internet à qual está distante da realidade de muitos. Palavras-chaves: Educação Rural; Professores; Pandemia.

Study On The Optimization Of TheTextile Coloristic Performance Of The Bleaching Process Using Pad-Steam

Information concerning the critical variables of the bleaching process (transformation of a raw fabric into bleached) by pad-steam is scarce, since it is considered a recent process in the textile industry. One hundred percent fine cotton fabrics present great difficulties in the standardization of bleaching across different production batches, which is even more complex when the fabric composition provided by the supplier is unknown. Thus, one carried out an evaluation of the variables that influence color yield in the bleaching process by pad-steam. The conditions used consisted of the reintroduction of the process of desizing by pad-batch, as well as washing and bleaching by pad-steam. The other variable changed was the chemical recipes (desizing and bleaching). As result of this research, the variables which most influenced color performance were the degree of whiteness (Berger) and the pH of extraction. Hence, a change in the production process for this type of 100% fine cotton is required. In this work, a statistical control was performed on the characteristics of the product obtained, which compared results before and during the study. The suggestions for improvement, some of which have already been implemented, are also presented. The results were then compared, enabling one to observe a significant improvement.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
